Weekly Homework
Course Description
Week of 6/6 and 6/13
There are no homework assignments for these two weeks. Students are continuing to learn. However, due to school activities and this Thursday’s field trip, I’ve decided to simply teach and allow my students to learn unburdened.
In today’s math class, students had fun learning Perimeter. This was their second day on this topic. Tomorrow they will start learning about Area. We are reading everyday right now trying to finish our literature book, “Hatchet”. This Thursday is our all day field trip to Mission Santa Clara. Monday of next week will be cartoon day. Students will tell a story about their life through cartoons. It’s a creative way to express themselves with a sense of humor.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week will be half days. Since next Thursday is our last day of school, if parents would like to bring a treat for the students to enjoy, that would be great.
Classwork will be coming home with students almost every day as we slowly cleanup the room
Lastly, there were two serving spoons left behind from International Day. If they are yours, please let me know and I’ll send it home with your student. J

Reread the problem, triple-check your answer. You’ll explain how you worked out the problem to me tomorrow (showing understanding).
